When I think of New Years Eve, I think of celebrating. I also think of glam, black tie and glitz.
So, I decided to create these fun New Years Eve Party Hats to help ring in the new year, using black goose feathers, glue and ombre glitter from the dollar store.
I started off with a typical paper birthday hat, which I removed the elastic from and traced the shape onto my glittery silver scrapbook paper. I cut it out into the shape of a party hat and then attached the elastic band to the bottom. I punched holes in mine so that I could tie the elastic to the hat, instead of just taping it.
I then rolled the hats into their cone shape and taped them in place. I also stapled the bottom of them, just to give them some extra strength to help hold them in place.
The last step is adding the feathers. I tried some different colour options, but I ended up going with some black glittery feathers in the end. So, voila! Customized party hats!!! So fun, right?
Once the feathers were given their ombre tips, I simply secured them in place in the top of each hat and set them on the table at each person's setting. Let the celebration begin!!!
